When I was little I used to own a PS1. I went to my bud's house and he had a N64+SM64, OoT, and MM. He was a bit older than me and had gotten pretty far in those games. I was awed. When I came home I asked my dad for a N64 but he said "No, you already have a Playstation.".

I played the NES over friend's houses back when I was younger. I think I remember playing River City Ransom, Super Mario Bros., Duck Hunt, Excitebike, and a few others. Never owned a Nintendo console myself until the Gamecube though.

I remember my dad, mom and friends enjoying a glass of champagne after beating Super Mario Bros on the NES when I was about 3 or 4.. and also I remember My dad using the NES advantage joystick's auto-fire function to level up in Zelda 2

My first Nintendo experience was encountering Donkey Kong in the arcade for the first time. This was awhile before they released a console. I later got a ColecoVision which came bundled with a Donkey Kong cartridge which, at the time, was the closest you could get to the arcade version.
